    Heat the oil in a large frying pan to 1-2 tablespoons and fry the aubergines until golden brown, turning them over. Drain on kitchen paper. Pour the vegetables onto a sieve and collect the broth. Cut the tomatoes in the tin roughly with a knife. Peel onions and garlic. Chop the onions coarsely. Heat the remaining oil in a pot, fry the onions and garlic and add the stock and tomatoes. Crush cumin and cardamom finely in a mortar and add to the sauce. Season with salt and cayenne pepper, bring to the boil and simmer for about 10 minutes. Boil eggs hard in about 10 minutes and quench cold. Bring 300 ml salted water to the boil, remove from heat and add couscous. Cover and let it swell for about 5 minutes until all liquid is absorbed.
